Glencree Evaluation | PI | Irish Research Council (IRC) / New Foundations | Evaluation of facilitated dialogues in conflict, post-conflict, or transitional conflict settings is not common. Glencree is keen to capture learning about dialogue itself and to learn about evaluation processes to understand if/how its facilitated dialogue approach contributes to developing the changes involved in building sustainable peace in Ireland. Glencree wishes to explore the development of an appropriate evaluation framework that captures this facilitated dialogue concept across its Programmes. The framework needs to be agile enough to deal with the shared and unique aspects of individual Programmes, and this framework will be integrated into Programme design and monitoring and evaluation. | 01-MAR-21 | 01-DEC-21 | 12000 | |
